10 Video Game Bosses So Strong Your Only Option Is To Run

1. Mr. X - Resident Evil 2

Mr. X is a tall, mutated man in a trench coat from Resident Evil 2. He serves a similar role as Nemesis in that his whole purpose is to chase the player around the map and never let them feel like they're safe.

His role in the original 1998 release was actually pretty minuscule, but thanks to Capcom's changes in the remake, he's become a much more prominent figure and arguably one of the most terrifying bosses in recent gaming history.

Thanks to his incredible resilience and regenerative abilities, Mr. X cannot be killed by any conventional weapon, including grenades and rocket launchers, which can only temporarily slow him. Combined with incredible strength that can kill your characters in one shot, the only way to survive his sudden appearances is to flee from the scene.

Some players might think they can outsmart him by running to difficult-to-access locations, but since Mr. X is secretly capable of climbing up ladders, squeezing through tight spots, and destroying barriers, it's only a matter of time before "he's gonna give it to ya!"

It's a good thing he's a slowpoke, or else there would really be no way of living through an encounter with him.
